WeaverofFate Tournament Sign Ups

Under the advice of @Sir.Lancelot I have decided to start up the tournament now since I did not know that the other would take so long. Here are the guidelines for the tournament:

- Topics for the debates will be given with each round of the tourney. Topics will include social, political, and religious issues. Each round will have a theme that the potential topics will be written around. If the two people paired against one another cannot agree on a topic, arbitration will be carried out by me. 

- Debates can be 3-4 rounds, with a 20,000 maximum character limit. You are free to use a link-shortening service and provide sources from a Google doc to meet come under the threshold. 

- There will be 4 judges per debate, 2 nominated from each person. You can nominate me to judge. However, it is not required. Argument times will be three days to allow for adequate research. Voting period will be set to one week. 

- Not accepting a debate challenge from your opponent after you agree on a topic and judges, or a failure to communicate with your opponent in a timely manner will lead to an automatic loss. This can be voided with adequate reasoning. 

- You are allowed to concede the debate at any time for an automatic loss. 

- You can nominate judges from other people in the tourney. However, any proven collusion or alleged collusion with probable cause will result in being kicked from the tournament. 

- Additional rules can be provided at my discretion when needed.

- There will be a total of 4 debaters in this tournament. If you cannot make it through the totality of the tourney, you are free to nominate a substitute to take your place. If you cannot nominate a sub in an appropriate amount of time, you will automatically lose the debate. You cannot nominate a sub in the knock-out round phase of the tournament. 

- The tournament will begin as a round-robin. This means that everyone will debate against each opponent once. After that, the top 2 debaters will the best record will proceed to a knock-out round. The winner of the knockout round wins the tournament.

- Brackets will be randomly determined and seeded. 

- If this goes well, I will start a bigger tournament in the future.

Cheers! Good luck to every debater!

Gotcha!

Gotta admit, I like the setup.

Thanks man!

BrotherD. and Stephen are in!

But is brother d Thomas going to actually debate or troll? 

I'd also like for them to comment on this thread so I know they themselves wanna be in.

BrotherD.Thomas and Stephen do not do official debates on the website. They are forum-heavy users 

Gotcha, thanks. Then the two slots are still open.

WeaverofFate,

Look at the "Rules" you set forth, that are comical upon their face!  They are equal to "If it is Monday, and past 6:15pm, and you are wearing a black T-shirt, and it is raining outside, you can only use one syllable words for your debate argument!"  

Like I have said countless of times before, I DO NOT ENTERTAIN DEBATES, PERIOD, but only "discussions" within the forum's format in quickly making YOU and other Bible inept pseudo-christians the fools that they are, understood?!

Oh, it’s too late for you to back out now. 

Would be glad to have you guys partake if you choose.

Perhaps you guys would be interested as well?

Sounds fun, but I would not have the time for it.  I would like to be a spectator though.  Honestly, I'm new at the whole debate thing.

That's fine, hopefully you'll enjoy spectating if we can get this off the ground. Feel free to mention anyone here that you'd think would like to participate.

Awesome!

Heyo, do you know of any person who would wanna join so we can get this started?

Could try the_viper, hey-yo, best.korea, and Decisively_Conservatist. They all seem decently active.

Thanks whiteflame! Any of you guys interested?

Sorry I dont have time for debates right now.

That's fine man. If this goes well, I will do another tourney so perhaps next time!

I am unable to do tourney. But thanks. 

That's fine man, thanks for the response!

Interested in participating?

You're good at debating from what I see, would you be interested?

Maybe. I'll have to look over the rules and exactly which participants. I'm not exactly the best with going into debates blindfolded.
